could go out there and play freely. the bulls are in cleveland tomorrow and the next five are back at the uc the cubs are making noises about resigning ryne dempster as a pre agent can shrek and kenny williams jr. and finally nobody in the bears' uniform has ever stripped more footballs ben tillman. he has been working on that for a long time. i graduated debt-free. not to offend anybody out there that had to do that to pay for college. the bears once did have
